=====Job Opportunities=====

-

We have an opportunity ​for a postdoctoral ​fellow interested in a computational project ​on the functional effects ​of coding variants. Generally, postdoctoral ​candidates ​with a strong background in computational biology, population genetics, protein structure or molecular evolution and interested in applications to human genetics are encouraged ​to contact ​Shamil.

The Personal Genomics Consultation Service (PGCS) at Brigham ​and Women’s Hospital ​and Harvard Medical School analyzes patient cases with rare genetic phenotypes. PGCS is searching ​for a full time research scientist or computational biologist to help solve rare disease cases using computational genomics pipelines and bioinformatics tools, and to develop leading edge genetic algorithms that are essential to finding ​the genetic causes ​of rare phenotypes. Please see [[http://​careers.brighamandwomens.org/​JobDescription.aspx?​Back=1&&​jobId=2262379|the job posting for more information.]]

We are looking for a statistical geneticist interested both in theory/​method development ​and analysis of large scale sequencing, genotyping ​and epigenomics datasets. Potential projects will include the analysis of regulatory variation; unresolved issues of allelic architecture and phenotype prediction; development of new methods ​for the analysis of large-scale sequencing datasets. Experience in statistical genetics will be considered as a significant plus, and understanding of evolutionary and general genetics will also be valued. However, we will consider all applicants with a strong quantitative background willing ​to learn and work at the forefront ​of the rapidly expanding field.
